After losing match to New Zealand, Green Shirts now find itself on the brink of elimination

(Web Desk): Despite defeat at the hands of India in the ongoing ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday, Pakistan's chances for qualifying for the semi-finals are still alive.
The loss, Pakistan’s second in as many matches, has left the defending champions in a precarious position in Group A. Having earlier lost to New Zealand in their tournament opener, Pakistan now finds itself on the brink of elimination.
Despite back-to-back losses, Pakistan is not yet mathematically out of the tournament. However, their qualification depends on a series of favourable outcomes in the remaining Group A fixtures.
Bangladesh must beat New Zealand on February 24
A Bangladesh victory would keep Pakistan’s hopes alive, ensuring that New Zealand does not move to four points.
Pakistan must defeat Bangladesh convincingly on February 27
A win alone would not be enough; Pakistan must secure a comprehensive victory to boost their net run rate (NRR), which could prove decisive in case of a tie on points.
India must defeat New Zealand on March 2
If India secures a dominant victory over the Blackcaps, Pakistan could advance on NRR, provided all three teams—Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand—finish with two points each.
However, if New Zealand wins against Bangladesh on February 24, both Pakistan and Bangladesh will be eliminated from the tournament, making India and New Zealand the two semi-finalists from Group A.
